Adds `render --require-version X.Y.Z`: refuse to render unless the running renderer is exactly that version. ## Why a pin is not enough `npx hyperframes@X.Y.Z` stops the renderer drifting between runs, but nothing checks the claim afterwards. A project states the version it believes it used and no artifact can contradict it. The provenance tag does not close the gap either. `hyperframes_version` stamped a constant `0.0.0-dev` for twenty published versions (#4365) — measured across 710 tagged mp4s, 710 carry that value, so the tag identifies nothing. #4409 fixes the stamp, which makes drift VISIBLE once a fixed build ships. This makes it ENFORCEABLE at the point it matters, before the encode. ## Three properties 1. **Fails closed on an unresolved version.** If the engine cannot say what it is, the gate cannot verify anything, and passing would hand back exactly the unfalsifiable claim the flag exists to remove — while looking green. It compares against the engine's exported `UNRESOLVED_VERSION` rather than a re-typed literal. 2. **Exact, never a range.** npm already gives the caller ranges. This answers "did the version I named run", and a caret would let the gate pass on a version the caller never named. 3. **Runs before the plan**, so a mismatch costs a startup rather than a full encode. ## Verification `checkRequiredVersion` is a pure function so the guard can be exercised; a guard that cannot be reached is one nobody has checked. 9 tests, extracted and executed: exact match, whitespace, mismatch naming both versions, fail-closed on unresolved, three exactness cases, empty value, and that the sentinel cannot be satisfied by asking for it by name. Two mutations, both red attributably: - drop the fail-closed branch -> exactly the 2 unresolved tests fail - lenient `startsWith` match -> exactly the 2 exactness tests fail The second is the one worth having: a prefix match is the tempting lenient implementation, and it silently passes `--require-version 0.8.7` against a running 0.8.72. I could not run the vitest suite here (no bun/node_modules on this machine), so please let CI confirm the suite itself rather than reading my green as a test run.

@hyperframes/engine
Seekable web-page-to-video rendering engine built on Puppeteer and FFmpeg.
Framework-agnostic: works with GSAP, Lottie, Three.js, CSS animations, or any web content that implements the window.__hf seek protocol.
Install
npm install @hyperframes/engine
Requirements: Node.js >= 22, Chrome/Chromium (auto-downloaded by Puppeteer), FFmpeg
What it does
The engine opens your HTML composition in a headless Chrome instance, seeks frame-by-frame using Chrome's HeadlessExperimental.beginFrame API, captures screenshots, and encodes them into video with FFmpeg.
Key services
| Service | Description |
|---|---|
| browserManager | Launches and pools headless Chrome instances (chrome-headless-shell) |
| frameCapture | Manages capture sessions — seek, screenshot, buffer lifecycle |
| screenshotService | BeginFrame-based capture with CDP (Chrome DevTools Protocol) |
| chunkEncoder | FFmpeg encoding with chunked concat, GPU detection, faststart |
| streamingEncoder | Pipe frames to FFmpeg in real time (no intermediate PNGs on disk) |
| audioMixer | Parse <audio> elements and mix audio tracks via FFmpeg |
| videoFrameExtractor | Extract frames from <video> elements for compositing |
| parallelCoordinator | Split frame ranges across worker processes |
| fileServer | Serve local HTML files to the browser via Hono |
Usage
import {
acquireBrowser,
createCaptureSession,
initializeSession,
captureFrame,
closeCaptureSession,
} from "@hyperframes/engine";
// 1. Launch browser
const browserLease = await acquireBrowser({ captureMode: "beginFrame" });
// 2. Open a capture session
const session = createCaptureSession({
browser: browserLease.browser,
url: "http://localhost:3000/my-composition.html",
width: 1920,
height: 1080,
fps: 30,
});
await initializeSession(session);
// 3. Capture frames
for (let i = 0; i < totalFrames; i++) {
await captureFrame(session, i, `/tmp/frames/frame-${i}.png`);
}
// 4. Clean up
await closeCaptureSession(session);
await browserLease.release();
Most users should use @hyperframes/producer or the hyperframes CLI instead of calling the engine directly.
